You may link to "PG-13" content only if it is clearly labeled as "NSFW". No images or videos may be embedded in the thread.

This thread exists for community members to "chit chat" at any time with others. It's a great way to meet people, discuss news, hold short (or long) conversations, post "off-topic" or on-topic content, and so on. Any safe-for-work content is open for discussion at any time, with anyone.

Keep things in mind:
No drama. Keep it private! No flaming or making negative personal remarks. Inciting or perpetuating anger or conflict from others is also not allowed. No personal attacks!

No embedded, posting, or linking to pornographic or other obscenely NSFW content. More friendly content may only be linked to, and not embedded. Any NSFW content must be very clearly labeled as such.

TACOMA, Wash. -- The Pierce County Sheriff’s Office is investigating an incident involving a rifle at the same Forza coffee shop in Parkland where four Lakewood police officers were shot and killed.

KIRO 7 has learned the incident took place at about 4 a.m. Tuesday, when someone, possibly a woman, pulled up to the drive-through window, apparently brandishing a weapon and yelling something at the barista. Sources told KIRO 7 Eyewitness News reporter Kevin McCarty that the person then threw the rifle at the barista butt-first, striking the employee in the chest before driving away. The weapon turned out to be a toy.

Pierce County sheriff’s detective Ed Troyer said investigators are questioning employees at Forza to determine what happened. It’s not known if the incident was a robbery attempt or related to the shootings last November. No arrests have been made. Troyer said the Sheriff’s Department will be releasing more information later today.
